The effects of oil's price slump and Europe's weak currency as a pull for continental tourists has clearly helped Ryanair (RYA) of late. And in spite of the 90 per cent rise in its share price just since October, non-executive board member Michael Cawley still wants to board. The airline's former chief operating officer and deputy chief executive now owns 775,588 shares - or 0.057 per cent of the company.

The group posted a bumper 66 per cent leap in annual profits in recent months and with its 'Always Getting Better' customer experience programme still being heavily invested in, passenger numbers could continue to rise from the 90.6m they hit in their results posted in May. The company also has more planes on order and is selling its stake in Aer Lingus (AERL) to British Airways parent International Consolidated Airlines (IAG). The holding in its Irish rival had been bought to make sure the business had exposure to primary airports, but Ryanair has made good ground in gaining space at more major airports.
